Fantastic fete in store
LEONGATHA Primary School students have already started buying their wristbands to gain entry into the most exciting event of the year.
The biennial Leongatha Primary School Fete is fast approaching this coming Friday, September 4.
Vice principal Dot Coghlan said all students have been involved in organising the event.
“After the huge success of the first fete in 2013, we knew we had to make this year bigger and better,” Ms Coghlan said of the six major ride attractions, food stalls and activities.
Each year level has organised three food stalls to cater for the fete, with a wide range of show food including a barbeque, fairy floss cart, hot dog stand and slushies.
The fete includes activities for all ages, including a coffee lounge and art show, cake and slice stalls, live performances and prizes.
“The event caters to the whole family. We have activities provided to entertain everybody not just within the school but in the whole community, all are welcome,” Ms Coghlan said.
“The fete will culminate in a massive fireworks show. Last year people raved about the fireworks. Some said they were the best they have ever seen.”
Among the activities is a major raffle, with first prize being a helicopter ride donated by Danny Rickard and a second prize of a family weekend away in Moama.
“This is our major fundraiser for the year. We have been overwhelmed by the community support we have received. We have had so many businesses and families donating money and prizes for the event,” Ms Coghlan said.
“We would like to thank the students, volunteers and parents who have worked tirelessly to make this event possible.”
Head on down to Leongatha Primary School this Friday with the whole family from 10am onwards. Wristbands are available at the school office.
